Description
- Potent, cell permeable adenylyl cyclase activator. Increases intracellular cAMP levels [1, 2, 6].
- Widely used tool to investigate cAMP as a second messenger [15].
- Inotropic and antihypertensive. Smooth muscle relaxant/vasodilator [3, 4, 6].
- Glucose transporter inhibitor [4].
- Platelet aggregation inhibitor [3, 10].
- Stimulates lipolysis in fat cells [8].
- Non-competitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptors inhibitor [9].
- MAP kinase inhibitor [11].
- Upregulates mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP) mRNA levels in brown adipose tissue [12].
- Autophagy inhibitor [13].
- Hedgehog signaling inhibitor [14].
- Has antiglaucoma potential [16].
- Promotes neuronal differentiation of NSCs [17].
- Anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective agent. Ameliorated Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, restoring impairment in nesting ability and sociability, and reducing neuroinflammation and amyloid beta deposition [18].
